Really Need Ya'lls Advice!!!!

Holly crap! You fly 30-40 hours a month and are gone 18 days and only get one hotel?!?!?!? And only 40 grand?!?!?! You are way underpaid and overutilized. Hope you have great bennies, nice company car, expense account, etc, because you are being used. Don't care how "cool" the boss is, he's laughing to his airplane owner buddies about how cheap his crew expenses are. And this is a 135 outfit? With that many overnights that much flying it sounds like you guys are probably bending the rules sometimes to make rest times. I bet they make you fly "91" flights after your 135 legs that exceed crew day limitations. Take your 60 type, AND RUN!

If you are willing to move to SoCal I know of two operators looking RIGHT now for both Lear 60 FOs and captains.

One place would even hire someone with your quals as a captain.

PM me if you think you might want to relocate.

Forget about giving them a year, get out when you get the chance. There are plenty of places to fly a Lear out there, but you may have to move. It would be worth it IMHO. You can always go back to where you want to live when you are commuting to MEM for FedEx.

He's right Ace...one would be an EX-BOX.

Happy trailssssssssss to your employer, Happy trailsssssssssssss. Look, the sharing of hotel rooms is a safety issue. Other pilot snores, watches TV, talks on the phone, sleeps with light on, etc. What ever it is, that is the 1st thing that needs to go if you stay there. If you ahve a company CC, just get your own room from now on. Send out a polite email to whom it all concerns telling, not asking, but telling them because of the saftey issues that outline to them, you can no longer share a hotel room with the other pilot. DOn't air his dirty laundry, just state you case and be done with it. The worse that can happen in you get let go. That would not be a big loss form what it sounds like, and any professional CP will understand you did what you had to do. After all, you were not getting any sleep at night because you had to share a room then you had to go fly the next day. You should also look into the company;s travel policy and see if the other employees (the people that ride on your aircraft) are required to share rooms.

I just keep laughing my rear off reading these posts!! Hey Hawk, you ever been on an aircraft carrier? Sleeping in little bunks with a bunch of other pilots, showering, sh$ting, shaving, all in public. Do you think they can't go fly a good sortie? Get the collective sticks out of your a$$s. There are bigger issues in this industry than snoring. Is this really what a group of pu$$ys the pilots of today have become? Get over yourselves.

Ps. Don't fly broken airplanes and don't bust minimums, for anyone. You'll be just fine, kid.
